The most unusual lakes of the world
It is difficult to even imagine on our planet so that there is no that huge number of water bodies that are now. Among the lakes are very beautiful, there are romantic or scary, and there is simply unusual. They have a strange color of water, amazing nature around or even strange behavior like disappearance strictly in mid-March.
Morning Glory Lake, Yellowstone National Park in the USA
This small hot source is not more than two kilometers. He has very capricious character and amazing behavior. Very often, the source changes its color from violet, ink and to the shade of light turquoise. In addition to this, it behaves completely not constantly: sometimes the smooth is calm, and sometimes it begins to grieve and worry. Initially, the temperature of the water was quite high, but the bonding source bounced by tourists "helped" to reduce the temperature of the temperature. It is good that even though the water remained transparent and clean.
Lake Clilyuk (spotted lake) in Canada
Spotted lake is literally a solution of mineral salts and substances. If the water evaporates, bizarre islands appear on the surface of the lake. And depending on the time of year, they have different color. The water of the lake is therapeutic, because Canadian Indians worship the lake as sacred. True, it will not work in it - a fence around him, it is officially transferred to the property of local residents.
Empty lake in Russia
- The place where wonders live, who cannot even explain scientists. The empty lake is named because neither in him nor with him there is no living nature. Although rivers fall from fish lakes. Multiple attempts to settle the reservoir did not lead to anything. Chemists also identified water as suitable even for drinking. In such cases, it is already possible to believe in mystic and negative energy of the place.
Asphalt lake, Trinidad
Pic Lake is a natural asphalt source, it is located in the crater of the mud volcano, and it is impossible to swim there. It was formed from oil reserves that came to the surface after the Fault of the Caribbean Continental Plate. In the sun, oil turns into such high-quality asphalt, which at least today can be laid it. Immediately developing deposits - approximately 150 thousand tons are produced. I wonder how much how the roads are in itself, if most of the mined exported?
Acid Lake in Sicily
The most poisonous lake, whose waters are very high percentage of sulfuric acid. How does she get there, scaring all the living, even birds, who would be broken to fly over the water? As studied studies of 1999, acid enters water from two underground sources. The reservoir has a very sad story: for a long time Mafia used water as a large cemetery of their victims. An hour after the immersion from the living organism there will be no trace.
Ink Lake in Algeria
The city of Sidi-Bel-Abbes is famous for its incredibly beautiful water "neighbor." Lake is surprising because its water is really suitable for ink writing. It turns out that the whole thing is in two rivers, which bring iron and other organic compounds from peatniks into lakes. To buy such inks is honored for honor not only in Algeria.
Lake Medusz in Palau
25 million jellyfish of mastigias - whether a joke? And this quantity chose one small lake. Their main meetings occur in the center of the lake, not letting get into the circle inside. But if a person is approaching, they can enjoy him in their kingdom. True, deeper 10 meters is impossible - there the water is already toxic. All the jellyfare are gladly observed biologists.
Lake Kelimut on the island of Flores, Indonesia
These rainbow lakes constantly change color. Today, the reservoir will be black, and in a couple of days it will turn with a blue robe of water. It is explained simple: a large amount of mineral substances helps to change the color of water. They say, the color of the lake depends on what souls of the dead to it are settled: at least, the locals believe so believe.
On our planet a huge number of lakes. And if one of them is known for their beauty, others - healing properties, third-sizes, that is, those who have become popular thanks to the unusualness of their nature or even its oddities. There are raging lakes, there are disappearing and reappearing, there are even asphalt and spotted lakes. We bring to your attention the rating of the most unusual lakes in the world.
1. Lake Morning Glory, Yellowstone National Park in the USA
In the USA, in the National Park Yellowstone, there is a famous source - Morning Glory Lake. This small hot lake has a depth of about 2,200 meters, in addition, it changes its color from dark purple to pale - turquoise, and sometimes it becomes green. The behavior of the lake is also constantly changing - then it is calm, then boils or even explodes as a geyser. Usually such explosions occur after seismic activity in the vicinity of the lake. The temperature of the lake is favorable for reproduction of various bacteria. Unfortunately, numerous tourists have a habit of throwing coins into the lake, which clocked the heating lake The source and the temperature of the lake dropped to 100 degrees in the depth and about 50-65 degrees on its surface. Nevertheless, the water in the lake remains very clean and transparent.
2. Lake Clilyuk (spotted lake) in Canada
Lake Clilyuk (the famous spotted lake) is located in Canada, next to Osoyoos. Due to the fact that the cliluck contains in its composition the largest number (in comparison with other lakes) of mineral substances, the summer evaporation of water on it leads to the formation of bizarre islets. Depending on the mineral composition and time of the year, these stains are painted in different colors. Minerals hardly harden that they can walk on them. In addition, the water of Lake Clilyuk has a pronounced therapeutic effect, why Canadian Indians consider this lake sacred and in every way protect him. To the indigenous people of the lake and the land around it officially, so it is almost impossible to get to the lake because of the erected fence. However, the picturesque view of the lake can be enjoyed from the highway located next to him than and enjoy numerous tourists, heard about the history of the lake and the surrounding legends.
3. Empty lake in Russia
In Altai, one of the most unusual lakes is located, the mystery of which is not revealed so far. The thing is that in this lake there is no bladeing, nor birds on the shore, no fish. And all this is despite the fact that the rivers flowing from other fish lakes, which is much in the edge of the empty lake. The researchers have repeatedly tried to establish life in an empty lake, launching there are unpretentious types of fish and vegetation, but after several days the plants rotted, and the fish ducked. Chemists more than once struggling water samples, each time they made a conclusion about the suitability of it to use and the absence of any poisonous substances. Experts from several European countries were not able to unravel the mystery of the Russian empty lake.
4. Asphalt Lake in Trinidad
The Trinidad Island, located in the seas of the Caribbean, has become popular thanks to the Lake Lake (famous asphalt lake). The lake is in the crater of the mud volcano and is a natural source of asphalt, so it will not work in the lake. The asphalt lake was formed after the Fault of the Caribbean Continental Plate. Oil rose to the ground surface along the fault line. The oil-rising oil volcanic, under the action of evaporation of volatile substances, turns into asphalt, according to its properties, not inferior asphalt obtained by industrial means. New asphalt to this day appears on the surface of the lake. Here are the development of asphalt, it produces about 150 thousand tons of asphalt for the year, which is mainly exported to the United States, China and England for use in construction.
5. Acid Lake in Sicily
The Sicilian lake of death is recognized as the most poisonous. In his lead-gray waters, fish is not found, vegetation does not grow and even the birds rarely fly over it. Is it worth saying that swimming in this lake is deadly, since all living beings that have fallen into the lake are instantly dying. The thing is that the water contains a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. Scientists in 1999 conducted research and found out that sulfuric acid in the lake falls out of two sources at its bottom. Therefore, it is not worth won by the fact that the Sicilian mafia was hidden in this lake, because during an hour from a person nothing remains.
6. Ink Lake in Algeria
Not far from the Algerian city of Sidi - Bel - Abbees, there is an ink lake. Due to poisonous dark blue inks, suitable only for the letter, there are no plants or fish in the lake. For many years, people were incomprehensible to the reason for the appearance of ink. However, scientists managed to determine that the whole thing in the chemical composition of two rivers flowing into the lake. In the waters, one of them contains a huge amount of iron, and in other various organic compounds that have fallen into the river from peat swamps. Connecting in the lake, they form excellent inks that are successfully sold not only in Algeria, but also in the countries of the Mediterranean, in Africa and the East.
7. Lake Medusa in Palau
Lake Meduse, located in the palau archipelago, has no analogues in the world. Despite this is a rather small closed lake, about 25 million jellyfish inhabitants live in it. Medusa gather together in the middle of the lake, forming an almost solid wall. But it is worth a person to get closer to this wall, jellyfish is broken to miss the guests to their amazing kingdom. To be among the jellyfish for a person is completely safe, since in the process of the evolution of jellyfish lost their cutting cells and are not burnt. However, it will not work with aqualing in the lake either, because at a depth of more than ten meters, water becomes toxic. Palau is now there are three lakes inhabited by Mastigias jellyfish. And although all the lakes are separated from each other, the evolution of the jellyfish in them is exactly the same, which is interesting for biologists.
8. Lake Kelimut on Flores Island in Indonesia
On Flores Island are famous Lake Kelimut. Not only are the lakes have different colors, so they also change the color. For example, a black lake can become red, then turquoise, then green. The color of the lake depends on the prevailing minerals dissolved in their waters. Local tribes Lio has a legend of the islands, according to which the souls of the dead live in the lakes. So, in the Red Lake there are souls of old people, the souls of young dead - in green, and the souls of children - in white.

Therefore, dozens of variety of routes are laid here - cycling, hiking, automotive. All these routes pass to the places where the mythical Nessie had once seen. Although the monster could not consider anyone, it is possible due to the large content of peat in the waters of the lake.
10. Plaster Lake in Australia
Australia is popular tourists plaster lakes. Here is a national Park of Crojergolong with gigantic eucalyptus, white sandy beaches. However, in 2011, one of the lakes were captured by a phenomenon that made it particularly popular. The tourist group, resting on the lakes is not the first time, noticed that the water of the lake glow with blue neon light. Examples of natural bioluminescence in the world are very little and basically it happens on the ocean depths, where the sunlight does not penetrate. In this case, the cause of the glow became a rare type of algae, crushed in the lake for several years. Noctiluca Scintillans is not visible to the human eye, and the light comes from them - yes.
As you know, 71 percent of our land surface is covered with water. From space, our favorite planet looks like a blue ball, because the reservoirs reflect the sun's rays in the blue spectrum.
Photos from NASA spacecraft show us a magnificent view of the marble-blue earth from space. In our world, many beautiful rivers, lakes, impressive waterfalls, stunning imagination of glaciers and pure water bodies surrounded by snowy mountains. Fortunately, all these magnificent creatures of nature can see each of us.

10Suez Canal, Egypt
160 kilometers in length, 300 meters wide - such is the size of this artificial water artery, which connects the Mediterranean Sea with red. The Suez Canal is considered the shortest route between Europe and Asia. This makes the transportation of goods and trade much easier by reducing complex routes around Africa. Currently, the Suez Canal is one of the most loaded waterways in the world, while it happened much less accidents, in comparison with other similar structures.
For the construction of a Suez Channel it took a total of 10 years. Starting from 1859, the ships from all countries could already pass through the Suez Canal, driving loads along the Europe-Asia route. An improved radar control system of the Suez Channel controls each vessel passing here. In case of emergency situations, this system allows you to immediately respond to the rescue services, thereby reducing the risks for the ships passing through the channel.

5Dead Sea, Jordan
The Dead Sea is one of the most saline water bodies in the world located on the border of Israel and Jordan. The salinity of the Dead Sea fluctuates on average between 34-35 percent. It is almost ten times more than the ordinary saline sea water. Increased salt content in water is the cause of the complete absence of aquatic flora and fauna, so it is a lake and call the "Dead Sea". The lake is located 423 meters below sea level, and is the lowest place on land.
Such a high concentration of salt allows tourists without much effort to swim in the Dead Sea, almost not mechanized by the limbs. This water benefits human health, as it contains a large number of useful minerals, such as potassium, calcium, sulfur and bromine. The Dead Sea can cure various skin diseases, and will help you get rid of toxins.

3Niagara Falls, United States
Niagara Falls is located on the border between Canada and the United States. The Niagara consists of three waterfalls, "American flow", "Brydlweil" and "Horseshoe". These three waterfalls together create a stream of water of 85,000 feet per second. This is the highest flow of water in the world. Horseshoe is the largest among the three waterfalls of Niagara and more part of it, located closer to Canada. "American Flow" and "Brydlweil" are located in the United States.
Niagara was formed 10,000 years during the period of Wisconsin olelion. The diamond-green water color of Niagara Falls is due to the mixing of salt and rocks with water at high speed. The whirlpool created by Niagara Falls has an area of \u200b\u200b1.2 kilometers. The depth of it is the same as the height of the Niagara, and is 52 meters. Water from Niagara flows into Ontario lake in the Canadian province.

Conclusion
Imagine that you make your way around the island through extensive forest thickets and find yourself on the shore of the lake with bright pink water. Or that swim on the boat in the midst of the whole sea of \u200b\u200blotus, which extends so far as soon as you can see your eyes, and even further. It sounds like something fabulous, but in fact, these scenes are very real, if you decide to visit the most unusual lakes on the planet.
Since the lakes are full ecosystems from themselves, they sometimes can take such unexpected forms and species that even the most sophisticated imagination can imagine. As, for example, Lake Clilyuk in Canada, every summer turns from a conventional mountain reservoir into a whole field, destroyed by stains of a bizarre form.
Lake Medusz, Palau
Jellyfish can deliver the inconvenience of resting on ocean beaches, but scuba diving with them in Lake Medusa in the Pacific Archipelago Rocky Islands - completely indelible pleasure. Golden jellyfish are sophisticated areas that can be the size of both coins and a soccer ball. This is the only appearance of the jellyfish, which in the process of evolution disappeared the ability to sting.
Lake Nong Khan, Thailand
Every year thousands and thousands of red lotus are blooming here, which turn the surface of the Thailand Lake Nong Khan into a giant floating colors field. This water garden begins to flourish in October immediately after the rainy season, and the peak of flowering falls on December, when the locals go on boats to enjoy beauty. It is best to contemplate the flowering lake before noon, when the lotuses are revealed as much as possible.
Pitch Lake, Trinidad
Some lakes are very viscous, but not more than that. Consisting of approximately 10 million tons of liquid asphalt and having an area of \u200b\u200b100 acres, Lake Pitch Lake near the town of La Brea on the island of Trinidad is the biggest deposits of the natural asphalt on the planet. This viscous mixture of water, natural gas, bitumen and minerals was the main source of asphalt in the world, starting from 1595.
Boiling lake, Dominican Republic
In the center of this 70-meter lake, the water is constantly in a boiling state, which greatly makes it difficult to carry out the correct measurements of its temperature, but it ranges from 82 to 92 degrees. Scientists believe that this steam-covered care is either a fumurol (crack and hole in the crater and at the foot of the volcano that serves as a source of hot gases), or something like a ventilating hole, which leads straight to volcanic magma.
Nyakanagan, Canada
If you cannot decide what exactly you want to visit is a river or lake, - go to the Lake of the Nyalman in the Canadian province of Quebec. This is the only lake having a rings form about 200 million years ago, when a gigantic asteroid with a diameter of 5 kilometers fell to Earth. The result of its fall and was this ring-shaped lake or, as it is also called, the concentric river.
Laguna-Colorado, Bolivia
Landscapes on this lake are so unusual that El Salvador himself could envy them. Its burgundy water in the lake receives due to plankton, red algae and other microorganisms living in it, which serve as food for another local attraction - Flamingo Geems, the presence of which makes this place with something among Mars and the Caribbean Islands.
Erebus, Antarctica
To admire this lake will be not a task not from the lungs, because the ambient temperature can reach -60 degrees. Inside this one of the five lava lakes on the planet temperature in the area of \u200b\u200b1700 degrees. From the other four analogues, Erebus is distinguished by the location on the continent, which, how to say, is not peculiar to too high temperatures. In general, Erebus is the second largest volcano on Antarctica, which is constantly erupting, starting in 1972.
Lake Hiler, Australia
No, this is not a reservoir with world reserves of a strawberry milk cocktail or chewing, it's just a lake with perfect pink water. And before you is not an illicit and the light effect, the water in this 600-meter lake retains its color and day, and at night. The exact reason for this phenomenon has not yet been established, but the main version calls the sources of the unusual color of bacteria and microorganisms living in salt sediments.
Upper Lake, USA
Lakes can sometimes be as major as the oceans. Take, for example, the Great Lakes in the United States and Canada, whose gigantic waves are a real paradise for surfers immediately from several states. The north of the lake, the greater heights reach the waves. On the upper lake, powerful winds can be raised and at all 10 meter waves, however, the average wave height on the very northern of the Great Lakes is about 1-2 meters.
Medicin Lake, Canada
The National Park in the Canadian province of Alberta goes to the lake, so mysterious that, most likely, you will not find it, because every winter the water in it simply disappears. But the point is not in evaporation. Lake Medicin is rather reminded by a gigantic bath with a length of 6 kilometers and a depth of 30 meters, which is filled in the summer, when the glaciers melting in the mountains fall into the River Malinjah. The river has several peculiar funnels - in Lake Medicin, it is just one of them, - which weigh the streams of the river to the system of underground caves, and then the river again goes to the surface in the Malunier Canyon. Despite the huge volumes of water from glaciers, the entire absorption process takes only a few weeks. Mystery of Lake Medicin was delighted only in the 1970s.
Natron Lake, Tanzania
This lake is perfectly coping with the guard of wildlife, but only in a not very familiar sense of this phrase. Natron literally turns animals and birds in the stones as if they looked into the eyes of Jellyfish Gargon. The lake to the shore, she also washing the perfectly fossil birds (even pigeons) and bats. Its ability to calcinate it is ominous lake thanks to toxic ashes and ashes allocated from surrounding volcanoes. No one can say exactly like birds and animals die, but it seems that the perfectly reflective surface of the lake makes them perform fatal immersion.
Lake Mackenzie, Australia
More perfect reservoir than Lake Mackenzie, you can hardly find on Earth. Snow white sand along its shores 100% consists of silicon, which is used in many perfume products and has a positive effect on the state of hair, skin and nails. The only source of perfectly clean and transparent water in the lake is the rains whose acidity is incompatible with any living organisms, except for your relaxing body.
Lake Pavilion, Canada
This lake in the Canadian Province of British Columbia is able to transfer you hundreds of millions of years ago. From the side, it does not differ from thousands of other mountain water bodies, but the bottom of it is eliminated by an ancient type of freshwater corals, which reproduce one of the first samples of life, which appeared on our planet more than 2.5 billion years ago.
Lake Noyos, Cameroon
In 1986, this crater lake in Cameroon caused one of the most unusual natural disasters, in the literal sense exploding. A huge mass of water rose up 100 meters, which led to the tsunami, covered by the lake coast, after which the entire district covered the carbon dioxide cloud, which killed 1746 human lives in just three days. Today it is located near this lake quite safely - after the disaster occurred, scientists have developed a system that remove carbon dioxide from the bottom.
Dead Sea, Israel / Jordan
This sea is 10 salty of any other sea on the planet - 35% against 3.5%. Thanks to such a salt concentration, you always stay on the surface, and your skin and joints get a great therapeutic effect. Water level in the Dead Sea is 427 meters below sea level and falls at a speed of about 1 meter per year - this is the lowest place on the planet.
From the pool, which is bubble like champagne, to lakes that change the color ... On our planet, many amazing places that seem unearthly. The most unusual reservoirs can be dangerous, but it does not stop adventure lovers, because their visit is the impressions of life!
Boiling lake (Dominican Republic)
This lake literally boils and couples from it. It is located high in Morne-Python National Park. You can get there, only overcoming a complex path.
The lake is heated constantly lying in it, which highlights pairs and hot gas. You can not swim in such water - it can be very expensive.
Pic Lake (Trinidad)
Black and viscous Lake Peach Lake is the largest field of liquid asphalt in the world. As the lake is believed to lie between two cracks through which the underground resin is seeded.
In the tiny drops of water in the resin, many microorganisms live. In the lake there are many petrified animals that fell into a viscous liquid.
Large prismatic source in Yellowstone National Park (USA)
Multicolored large prismatic source is the hottest reservoir in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Its depth is from 50 to 90 meters.
The pool rich in minerals is covered with concentric stripes of bright colors, from red to green, thanks to various thermal-loving pigment bacteria. In the bright blue central part of the reservoir, the temperature reaches 87 ° C!
Travertine terraces Pamukkale (Turkey)
Turquoise water pools are filled with limestone terraces, which once flowed streams rich in minerals.
Pamukkale terraces, which are also called cotton castle, are located next to the ancient Roman city of Jerapol. Both terraces and the city are listed by UNESCO World Heritage Site.
(British Columbia, Canada)
This is an alkaline lake rich in minerals, especially sulphates. It also contains small doses of silver and titanium. Round spots appear in the summer when most of the water evaporates.
Lake, located in British Columbia, local Indians called Clilyuk and considered the sacred. During World War I, the minerals from the lake were used to make explosives.
Dead Sea (Jordan / Israel)
The Dead Sea is the most salty reservoir in the world. Part-time it is also the lowest point of the surface of the globe. The sea is so salty that there is even no fish in it! But the unique features of the reservoir make it easy to hold on the surface even a bad swimmer. A unique dirt is known for its healing properties to the whole world.
Lake Skovoroda (New Zealand)
Located in New Zealand. In addition, this is one of the largest hot swimming pools in the world generated by the power of the volcano, almost the entire Table of Mendeleev is dissolved in its waters. And considering and a rather, ... This is not the place where you want to swim. And let you not deceive the unusual riot of paints. This place is very dangerous!

Lake Hallier (Australia)
Located on a small island in the south-west coast of Australia. Its water has a very unusual gentle pink color. It is interesting that even if you dial water into any container, it does not lose your amazing color for a long time. In the middle of XX, scientists have analyzed water and found out that pink color gives it one of the types of algae.
